What do you think about the popular gender reveals?

182 sats \ 18 comments \ @bief57 10h AskSN

Maybe some of you have attended one of these events or maybe even had one for your child, and if not, you've at least seen a video on the internet. From the first time I saw it, it seemed like a strange idea. I immediately thought, what would happen if the gender of the future child wasn't what the parents expected? And well, from then on, I constantly see videos where literally either the mom/dad or both throw a tantrum because it wasn't what they expected. What's the point of throwing a party, inviting dozens of people, spending a fortune on food and decorations? All for them to end up throwing a tantrum. In my opinion, if you're not going to accept your child as they are, then what's the point of doing this?

I use this video as an example of the reactions I am referring to:

A parody I got:

Is that even real or is it just outrage porn material? I don't trust the authenticity of anything on the internet these days.

Personally i've never been to a gender reveal party and I think it's a bit of a silly idea, but not something I'd rebel against as long as people stay classy and don't go overboard with it.

Bad parental reactions are real. I've seen videos of everything from simple celebrations to the most ostentatious.

also some very strange ones

Yes, I find it horrible. What will the children say in the future? Thanks, I love you too?

Stupid behavior. I’m glad I had my children before this trend started.

And it is even more stupid to go into debt to hold a "celebration" of this kind.

I think these events are silly. I don't want to go. But some people like them. I don't care what others do.

When I was born the doctor told my parents "10 fingers, 10 toes and a tallywhacker"

More than enough. They saved themselves all that waste.

Not the point of this video, but how does it work exactly? Your doctor writes the gender on a piece of paper, and you give it to the company selling the gender reveal stuff so that they put the right color for the confetti?

When I had my kid, I was just happy to share the event with close family. No gift list, baby shower, etc... I hated it when random friends thought of making themselves the center of attention for the fact that they were going to have a kid.

Anyhow, to each their own~~

I think a small thing like a box or a champagne bottle that shoots a color-coded thing when popped is fine.

But all those extravagant elaborate reveals are just objectively tacky af. Or as the whippersnappers would say: cringe

If I had a friend that invited me to a gender reveal party I'd have one less friend
